Quarrels happen. They are a part of life. Disagreements take place at home, at work, at school, between friends, and even at church. All of us have found ourselves in the middle of them. They are inevitable.
Whenever you find yourself in such a situation, remember that you are holding a bucket in each hand. In one hand, you hold a bucket of water that can be used to put the fire out of the quarrel. These are kind words and the choice not to gossip about the matter. In your other hand, you hold a bucket of gasoline that will spread the fire. This is what happens when we choose to repeat a matter to others.
Gossip is deadly. It is a cancer to any group of people. Let's be sure to use the proper bucket when quarrels arise.
